I hope you had an amazing Thanksgiving, filled with good food, great company, and lots of love. There’s something special about this time of year that brings us together to reflect on the things that truly matter, our families, our health, and the blessings in our lives. Here at The Probate Fox, we’re skipping all
Opportunities are like precious moments; they don’t always come back around, and it’s up to us to grab them when they appear. If real estate has caught your attention and you’ve decided it’s your niche, it’s time to commit. The truth is, no one stumbles into success by accident. You have to decide to succeed,
I was sitting here reflecting, watching my daughter grow up and pursue her passion for music. Over the last few years, she’s been diving into different instruments, one of them being the piano. Just recently, a classmate from her college music class asked if she’d be willing to tutor her privately. She accepted, and now
Today is Veterans Day—a day to honor those who have served our country, putting their lives on the line to protect the freedoms we sometimes take for granted. For me, this holiday hits close to home. This past weekend, my wife and I had the chance to take her father, Donald, out for a special
Last week, my youngest daughter, Rebecca, took her driving test. Now, we’d been practicing for this day for a while. It’s just like any big goal in life: you have to prepare and rehearse if you want to succeed. We went out on practice drives, rehearsed every scenario, and went over what could happen, the
Earlier today, I found myself sitting across from a young father who looked like he hadn’t slept in days. Classic new dad mode. As we got talking, he started stressing about wanting to work harder, make more money, and give his kid everything they could ever want. It instantly took me back to my own
I recently heard a quote that really stuck with me: “The worst thing an entrepreneur can do is run enthusiastically in the wrong direction.” It got me thinking about all the newbie real estate investors I’ve seen over the years—full of excitement but following bad advice. They dive in after watching a YouTube video or
Let me tell you, probate real estate is full of surprises—Suzanne’s story is just one of them. Imagine this: you spend years helping someone out, walking their dogs, being there for them, and then one day, without expecting anything in return, you find yourself the owner of a house. Sounds too good to be true?
You won’t believe what I’ve been up to—cleaning out my old stacks of magazines that go back nearly 20 years. It’s crazy to think how long I’ve been diving into anything and everything related to real estate, entrepreneurship, and business. Heck, I’ve even been a subscriber to AARP for years! Now, back when I first
This morning, I found myself back in court, filing an unlawful detainer against a tenant who hadn’t paid rent. Now, I don’t end up in court very often—most of the time, I’ve got a great relationship with my tenants, and we can usually work out a solution that benefits both of us. But every once
One of my younger students, Cole, lives in a small town in northern Wisconsin. When he came to me, he was skeptical that probate would work where he lives. His own town is pretty rural with just 9,000 people and there’s not much else around him. Just a bunch of other small, rural towns. Even
Do you know what a Thomas Guide is? If you were born in the last 25 to 30 years you probably have no idea what I’m talking about right now. Before the invention of the iPhone, people didn’t have google maps that told them where to go. Regular maps have been around pretty much forever.
